Great Classic
30 June 2008
Enjoyed this Alfred Hitchcock film starring Gregory Peck,( Anthony Keane) who plays the role of a very successful lawyer and is also married to a very pretty wife, Gay Keane, (Ann Todd) and they are both very much in love with each other. Anthony is hired to defend a very pretty woman, Mrs. Maddalena Paradine, (Alida Valli) who is suppose to have killed her husband by poison in a glass of wine. Mrs. Paradine's husband was blind and was also taken care of by his trusted valet for many years. As the story progresses, Anthony visits Maddalena and actually starts to fall in love with her and this starts all kinds of problems with his own wife Gay. This film has many great veteran supporting actors like Ethel Barrymore, Charles Laughton, who plays a Judge and Leo J. Carroll who is the prosecuting lawyer in this case. If you like Alfred Hitchcock films, you will not want to miss this film.
